Hey baby, wanna cyber?

PSO goes Valentine mad.

Posted by Staff
Players of Phantasy Star Online will be all too well aware of the danger of hanging around in communal areas of the game. These dangers are compounded if you, like us, prefer to project a female persona when playing.

“Hey baby, you look hot,” says Klaus69, a German player of some standing. “Wanna cyber?” he asks, full of hope. We calmly inform him that no, we don’t wanna cyber, we want to go questing and the like. Oh, and we’re not a girl, we are a boy, albeit dressed as a girl.

After the usual round of abuse, we go about our business, trying to talk in as manly a font as possible, pondering the idea that well over 90% of all PSO players must surely be male.

So we read with interest that Sonic Team is planning on releasing a special Valentine Quest on Friday. The quest, once completed, will gift successful players with a box of special PSO chocolates, which can be then distributed as a token of Sonic Team love.

Odd, worrying, but strangely comforting. In the meantime, European players, having missed the love-fest, will have to wait until March 7 to get stuck in. And remember, you have been warned.
